Take A Look! A First Look At Pixar’s New Animated Short ‘Bao’

The creative minds at Pixar are back. Today Pixar returns with a look at their latest film, a new one entitled ‘Bao.’ The sneak peek comes ahead of the Incredibles 2, which will find ‘Bao’ as the opener. The short was directed by Domee Shi, Pixar’s first female short director, and is set in Canada.

The short focuses on the Chinese immigrant community, doing so with a culinary tale that follows a Chinese-Canadian woman who suffers from depression and “empty nest” syndrome. However, she is given a second shot at motherhood as one of her handmade dumplings comes alive. The details on the film are scarce, though we do know that Bao will first be screened as part of the NYC film festival’s short animated showcases.
